well the lie is seeded, 99% of people perpetuating this lie have no idea they are doing so....myself included i was and am still brainwashed twords a heliocentric model...all evidence through observation and repeatable experiments points twords a geocentric model...ya that plane making that flight(those southern hemisphere to southern hemisphere are very rare and often have anomalys as you say, and are very rarely direct) uses a PURELY mechanical gyroscope, to travel and land on the same orientation half way round the "globe"........

as for it detracting attention from government manipulation, i see it as the opposite...who cares if the earth is flat, they blew up my stuff....i have no doubt about all these deciects you list, and agree completely ....the deception is complete
